All About Healing

Families often play a significant role in the healing process. Should you or a family member need long-term acute care services, it’s important to consider a facility where family is welcomed and included as an integral part of care. Carrus Specialty Hospital was designed to enhance patient comfort and accommodate families, with the strong belief that the presence and support of loving families can facilitate recovery.
Patients come to Carrus Specialty Hospital for specialized treatment within an integrated plan of care, utilizing physicians, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, and other caring team members. Carrus’ team understands that involving families can help staff better know the patient, so that care is as customized as the treatment. When everyone comes together to work toward goals in personal and meaningful ways, patients may feel more valued as individuals and better able to contribute to their progress.
At a time when families often wonder what they can do, Carrus helps involve them in meaningful and productive ways. The sound of familiar voices, the gentle touch of a comforting hand, and the reassuring presence of loved ones may be sensed as well as experienced, so that even the most critically ill or injured patients may benefit. Additionally, families can help ensure that patients receive and understand information provided by various members of the professional team, reinforcing communications and providing opportunities for asking questions and stating concerns.
Because Carrus Hospitals include specialty, rehabilitation, sleep lab, and outpatient services, they can meet a range of needs within a broad continuum of care. They have recently added a transport service to assist in moving patients from traditional hospitals to Carrus.
